igus® in use in the machine tool industry

Right at the heart of the machine tool: process cost savings of 80% – worldwide

Machine tool manufacturers often have production locations around the globe. In order to ensure high quality standards worldwide, uniform part lists for your machines are vital. However, manufacturers are often forced to accept different variants for different locations or different delivery times. With 3,800 employees at 35 locations, igus® is always right at the heart of the machine tool, combining the benefits of global availability, fast delivery and global support. In China, for example, we have more than 400 employees and our own readychain® factory for customised harnessing. We can offer you the same service at other machine tool production hubs, such as Japan, Italy, Taiwan, Korea, India, Brazil and the USA.
